“For those with a love of all things visual, iROKING has built in a one-click functionality that takes listeners directly to artists’ YouTube videos. Users will also be able to share their favourite iROKING tracks with the rest of the world at the click of a button via email, Twitter and Facebook.,” added the statement.

The site will also provide genre-based radio channels for its users to tune into.

To celebrate the launch of the site, the company is currently offering free track downloads for a limited period.

iROKING chief executive officer, Michael Ugwu, said, “This week sees the launch of iROKING 2.0. We know that our listeners want to access fresh tunes from the best of West Africa’s artists anytime, anywhere and so we’ve designed them the ultimate mobile platform to do that.”
